What weight will be the toughest at state? Which will have the most exciting semi's/finals matches?

140 has to be a good start

I look for 152 to be a nail nibbler.

189 is a good weight

112lbs should be a pretty good one the watch

lol mikey boy u just think that cause u r there

Chart reads: Weight, number of state medalists from last year , total number of state medals returning from last year. , (ie a 3 time state placer returns 3 medals), and state Qualifers from last year.
In other words 112 has 5 state placers returning, who have earned 8 state medals, and 11 state qualifers are back.
103 1-1-1
112 5-8-11
119 6-7-2
125 4-6-8
130 5-8-4
135 3-6-8
140 5-10-6
145 4-6-9
152 2-3-6
160 3-3-6
171 5-7-7
189 4-5-5
215 3-4-9
275 3-6-4
112 and 140 seem to be the toughest.

Yeah 112lb is going to be pretty good

Thanks Coach Lamar, ...can you list whom are the State Medalist and qualifiers who are at 140, 135, and 145 and from weight did they compete last year. In other words, when you did the break-downs are these the returners from each weight last year or compiled from the current weights this year ??
Thanks again for your previous reply and being a ranking official as I'm sure it entails alot of time and effort on your part.

Geez, when I grow up, I need a life!

That is Berry from Cherryvale Not Perry.....LoL

Swihart from SF at 275 is not varsity it is Gabe Walz.

The question was: What state placers and qualifiers return this year. Swihart fits that category. Walz would fit the category, ranked wrestlers. I am sure you are trying to help, I just have a little attitude today!! Thanks

321a 140 isnt to impressive #1 ranked Kenny Tyler should have lost to an unranked kid from 4a if not for a stalling call in the last 2.4 seconds.
